The ability to remember old events poses one of the most remarkable talents of the human brain. The hippocampus, a part of the limbic system, is suspected to play a key role in the transformation of new experiences into long term memory. Its neurons possess two specialized extensions to process information in a directed manner. Their widely ramified dendrites receive input from other cells, whereas a single axon transmits output to subsequent cells of the network. Dendrites and axon arise usually directly from the somatic compartment. However, we could show that in a large fraction of hippocampal neurons, the axon derives from one of the dendrites.
